RE: E-FLITE ULTIMATE,by GEORGE HICKS!
JUst a word of thanks to everyone that posted to this thread offering advice on this plane and seting it up.
I got mine done last week and have been flying it the last few days outdoors and it's a blast! My set up uses the Park 370 brushless/CC 25 ESC/TP 1320 3C and is PERFECT for this little plane. I do agree that the stated CG is WAY too far aft as it makes the plane want to fly around tail low but 3D is very easy with it back there. Since I have been flying mine outside I have been carrying more speed in the pattern and it does get a bit squirrely with the aft CG. I moved the CG forward by placing the pack high on the nose right in front of the cabane and it REALLY flies nice now.
The only thing that has me concerned at the moment is that I bought this thing to fly indoors and it seems like it is going to be a chore to keep it from hitting the walls at the local gym this winter. I'm thinking that the wing loading it too high and I might get softer, slower flights with a smaller battery. Can anyone chime in on this idea, or am I just asking too much of this plane to expect to fly it inside comfortably?
